Fillers in acrylic pigments are also called fillers and fillers. Add solid substances to the material that improve performance or reduce costs. Organic, inorganic, metal or non-metallic powders that are usually water-free, neutral, and do not have adverse effects on the material components can be used as fillers. How to wash acrylic pigment? Is acrylic pigment toxic? Acrylic pigment is a new type of painting pigment made of a chemical synthetic rubber emulsion (containing acrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, as well as thickeners, fillers, etc.) mixed with color particles.

acrylic pigment is water-soluble and can be dissolved with water, but it has a waterproof effect after drying and can be painted repeatedly. It has strong dryness and strong adhesion. It can adhere to any material such as glass, cloth, wood, etc., and will not fade or peel off when exposed to wind and rain. Acrylic pigments are blended with water, so they dry quickly and are no longer soluble in water after drying.

propylene is an organic material. According to the characteristics of organic materials that are easily soluble in benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol, soak the clothes in white wine or gently rub them in medical alcohol to wash off the pigment. After drying, you can only wash it with industrial alcohol or acetone.

Because acrylic pigments are organic matter, be careful not to contact organic solvents when washing. Some enzyme-containing washing powder should also be used with caution. It is best to wash separately, only a small amount of washing powder is used, and the time should not be too long, otherwise the surfactant in the washing powder will cause the pigment to fall off partially.

If you are using acrylic paint for clothing, some skin sensitive people should pay attention, because acrylic paint may still have some allergic reactions when it comes to your skin for a long time, try to minimize the time to wear and avoid wearing it when sweating a lot. Of course, acrylic pigments are the ideal hand-painted pigments for painted clothing and T-shirts for those with insensitive skin. Most people will use a little gasoline to clean it up. But that one is not easy to get.

As far as the editor knows, we usually use acrylic pigments to draw patterns on the nails when we are nail art. Therefore, the editor recommends trying it with nail wash and wipe it with a little bit of cotton swab, which will also have some effect.

Usage of acrylic pigment

Acrylic pigment can be used in the drawing of hand-painted wall paintings, as well as other decorative paintings. Acrylic pigment is soluble in water and conveniently soluble in oil paintings. It is a very good hand-painted pigment. The difference between

3 acrylic pigments is:

(1) dilute with water, which is conducive to cleaning;

(2) quick drying. The pigment can dry a few minutes after the pen is finished, and it does not have to wait several months before it can be polished after completion like an oil painting. Painters who like slow-drying pigments can use delaying agents to delay the drying time of the pigment;

(3) After the coloring layer dries, it will quickly lose its solubleness, and at the same time form a tough, elastic, water-impermeable film. This film is similar to rubber;

(4) full, thick and fresh in color. No matter how you blend it, you will not feel like "dirty"“ “ gray” The coloring layer will never absorb oil and cause dirt;

(5) The work has a long lasting life. The oil film in oil paintings is prone to oxidation over time, and becomes yellow and hard, which can easily cause cracking of the picture. Theoretically, acrylic film will never brittle or turn yellow;

(6) The biggest difference between acrylic pigments and oil paintings in terms of usage is that they have the operating characteristics of general water-based pigments, which can be used as watercolors and water powder;

(7) Acrylic plastic ointment contains particles, and is divided into coarse particles and fine particles, which provides convenience for the production of texture;

(8) Acrylic pigments are slightly poisonous, but will not cause harm to the human body. Just be careful not to accidentally eat it. When using acrylic pigments, be careful that acrylic paintings should be drawn on the base made of acrylic primer (GESSO), and do not paint with oily bases. Material experts do not advocate mixing acrylic with oil painting colors, especially not painting oil paintings on acrylic base, which is mainly for the permanent preservation of the work. There is no adverse reaction between acrylic and oil painting pigments. When used alternately, its adhesion needs to be tested by time.

How to use acrylic pigments

About pigments:

The ones are currently more easy to buy on the market. As for domestic Marley and Windsor Newton, Marley is easier to blend, but the hair color is a little worse, so it needs to be adjusted with black and white, etc., while Windsor Newton's hair color is better, but it is not very good to dissolve when blended with water, alcohol, etc., so it needs to be stirred for a long time. Moreover, the warm color is relatively rich, and there are 22ml small ones sold separately. The smallest one for Marley is 75ml (when you buy it, 22ml and 75ml are the first choice. Don’t buy large bottles because there are too many).

Color:

Black and white are the most used! Because the colors of acrylic pigments are brighter and more fancy after mixing, a lot of black or white needs to be added to adjust the tone and saturation, making the color look less bright.

Silver is mixed with a small amount of silver and black to express the metal texture, and the effect is pretty good. Dilution of

Pigment:

Diluent: water, alcohol, special blender, X-20A

Generally, only water and alcohol can be used. The alcohol dries quickly, but if the dilution is not sufficient, the pen marks will be heavy, the water will dry slowly, and if the pigment is not well blended, the color will change slightly due to different drying speeds, and it will greatly prolong the color progress. It is patient.

About coloring:

1. Before coloring, it is best to use dishwash with dishwashing liquid to remove the mold release agent. If you can, use 1000-2000# sandpaper to slightly polish the smoother plane without damaging the details.. Then apply twice with brush wash (which can be understood as very, very thin pigment), and start coloring after drying~

2. It is best to dilute it, and then apply it as much as possible. It is roughly the first time you paint it. After drying, you can still reveal the base color. This way, apply a few more times, and continue until the base color is basically covered. When coloring, keep the colored surface horizontal as much as possible.

3. When brushing, the pen only moves in one direction, the stroke should not be too long, the pen should not be too dry (and not stained with too much paint!), and do not reply to the pen (remember)!

4. Acrylic is used for dry sweeping and will have a special effect. At this time, very dry pigments are needed.

Acrylic pigment is a new type of painting pigment made of a chemical synthetic rubber underlay (containing acrylate, methacrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, as well as thickeners, fillers, etc.) mixed with color particles.

acrylic acid in acrylic pigment has a strong irritating effect on the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It is irritating to the respiratory tract, and high concentrations of inhalation cause pulmonary edema. It has anesthetic effect. Direct contact with the eyes can cause burns. It has obvious irritation and sensitization effects on the skin. Oral administration strongly stimulates the oral cavity and digestive tract, causing dizziness, difficulty breathing, and nerve allergies. Methacrylic acid in

acrylic pigment is a chemical additive with a irritating odor. Its main purpose is used for organic synthesis and polymer preparation. It is irritating to the nose and throat; high concentrations of contact may cause lung changes. It is irritating to the skin and can cause burns. Eye contact can cause burns and cause permanent damage. It may cause lung, liver and kidney damage for a long time. It is sensitized to the skin. After sensitization, even if it is exposed to extremely low levels of methacrylic acid, it can cause skin itching and rash. The thickener in acrylic pigment is a food additive, mainly used to improve and increase the viscosity of food, maintain the color, aroma, taste and stability of fluid and frozen foods, improve the physical properties of foods, and make the food have a lubricating and palatable feeling. Thickeners can increase the viscosity of food or form gels, thereby changing the physical properties of food, giving food a sticky and suitable taste, and having the effect of emulsifying, stabilizing or making it in a suspended state. There are 39 types of thickeners approved for use in China. Thickening agents are hydrophilic polymer compounds, also known as hydrosols.

Fillers in acrylic pigments are also called fillers and fillers. Add solid substances to the material that improve performance or reduce costs. Organic, inorganic, metal or non-metallic powders that are usually water-free, neutral, and do not have adverse effects on the material components can be used as fillers.

In summary, acrylic pigments are more or less poisonous, so don’t contact them for too long.
